880 PointsI'm typing numbers out (int and double) and there is a problem
I'm typing out int and double numbers and it's printing out the text it should be but its also printing out 0 with it like I have not typed in anything.
using System;
namespace Treehouse.FitnessFrog
{
class Program
{
static void Main()
{
double runningTotal = 0;
bool keepGoing = true;
while (keepGoing)
{
// Prompt the user for minutes exercised
Console.Write("Enter how many minutes you have exercised or type \"quit\" to exit: ");
string entry = Console.ReadLine();
if(entry.ToLower() == "quit")
{
keepGoing = false;
}
else
{
try
{
double minutes = double.Parse(entry);
if(minutes <= 0)
{
Console.Write(minutes + " is not an acceptable value. ");
continue;
}
else if(minutes <= 10)
{
Console.Write("Better than nothing I suppose. ");
}
else if(minutes <= 30)
{
Console.Write("Hell yeah! ");
}
else if(minutes <= 60)
{
Console.Write("Am I seeing a warrior in training? ");
}
else
{
Console.Write("Stop showing off! But don't stop exercising though, it's good for you! ");
runningTotal = runningTotal + minutes;
}
}
catch(FormatException)
{
Console.Write("That is not a valid input. ");
continue;
}
// Add minutes exercised to total
// Display total minutes exercised to the screen#
Console.WriteLine("You've entered " + runningTotal + " minutes");
}
// Repeat until user quits
}
Console.WriteLine("Goodbye");
}
}
}

231,248 PointsAs it is now, the "minutes" are only added to "runningTotal" when they are more than 60 (and it displays "Stop showing off!").
But you probably want to move that statement outside of the conditional so that it is done for all values.
A good place to put it would be right after the line with this comment:
// Add minutes exercised to total
